Signification
Asking for someone's phone number.
Contexte culturel
Exchanging phone numbers is very common and usually leads to a Viber connection. Serbians prefer Viber over WhatsApp. In Montenegro, people might use 'Koji ti je broj?' more frequently with a distinct downward intonation on the last word. Similar to Serbian, but you might hear 'broj mobitela' more often than 'broj telefona'. Younger generations might ask for Instagram first, but the phone number is still seen as a sign of a 'closer' connection.
The Viber Trick
After getting the number, ask 'Imaš li Viber?' because that's where 90% of Serbian texting happens.
Formal vs Informal
Never say 'tvoj' to someone you would call 'Gospodin' (Mr.) or 'Gospođa' (Mrs.).
